ThreatSentry Delivers
Affordable, Versatile Protection for Windows Web Servers
—
Block Unwanted Web Traffic and Overcome IIS
Vulnerabilities with ThreatSentry 3.0 —
RED BANK, NJ (PRWEB) – July
31, 2006 – Privacyware, an innovative provider of
proactive desktop and server defense and enterprise
security analytics solutions defends Windows Web servers
from known and new Internet Information Services
vulnerabilities and provides flexible and rapid
configuration of enterprise-specific policies with its
IIS Application Firewall and Host Intrusion Prevention
software, ThreatSentry 3.0.
“ThreatSentry secures
Web-related traffic and provides enlightening insight
into the full spectrum of unwanted requests and possible
policy violations on critical systems that rely on
Microsoft Internet Information Services, (IIS),” stated
Privacyware CEO, Greg Salvato. “At a list price of $399
per server, organizations need not forego the proactive
defense afforded by behavioral technology breakthroughs
due to budgetary constraints.”
ThreatSentry 3.0 is a Host
Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) specifically designed
to address internal and external unauthorized system
access and cyber-criminal threats on Web servers
utilizing Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS).
Since its introduction, IIS has grown in popularity and
ranks as one of the most widely used platforms for
enabling simple to sophisticated Web sites and Web-based
applications. While it is well-regarded for its ease of
use and range of features, it is frequently targeted by
hackers due to a variety of IIS-related vulnerabilities
and the inherently open nature of many Web applications
– many of which manage sensitive information such as
credit card numbers, passwords, or other private
information. An ISAPI filter hosted in MMC, ThreatSentry
is comprised of an application firewall and behavior
anomaly detection engine. Server requests are filtered
through a knowledgebase of known attack signatures,
untrusted IPs and other attack characteristics and an
evolving system baseline to detect any untrusted
activity and prevent new or known attacks that target
IIS vulnerabilities or open access points.
“ThreatSentry’s depth of
protection and versatility are its defining features,”
said Privacyware Chief Technologist, Dr. Konstantin
Malkov. “Our customers conduct regular audits against
their systems and when vulnerabilities in their servers
and Web applications are revealed, they often find that
either the default application firewall configuration or
the behavioral engine already addresses the issue. If
not, ThreatSentry is designed to enable administrators
to easily implement new defense techniques and achieve
the most comprehensive and proactive protection
possible.”
ThreatSentry supports
single or multiple server environments and provides
protection from an array of documented exploitive
techniques including Directory Traversal, Cross-site
scripting, Parameter Manipulation, Buffer Overflow,
Denial of Service, SQL Injection, Parser Evasion,
High-bit Shellcode, Printer Protocol, and Remote Data
Services, but also stops any unusual activity falling
outside acceptable patterns of use.
ThreatSentry is available

pricing starts at $399 per server. Volume pricing is
